Marvel premiered the second episode of Ms. Marvel<\/em> on Wednesday. The story picks up from last week, showing us how Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) is learning to become a superhero. In the process, Marvel dropped a significant Spider-Man Easter egg we suspected was coming. Considering this development, Ms. Marvel<\/em> will hopefully continue to fill in Spider-Man and Avengers plot holes.<\/p>\n

But before we can discuss episode 2, you should know that big spoilers will follow below<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ms. Marvel<\/em> episode 2 further advances the plot of the TV show, providing the audience with more background about the protagonist, her family, and friends. It follows the same tonality as the premiere while giving us an idea of who Ms. Marvel is. And making us forget all about Moon Knight<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Ms. Marvel<\/em> is an entirely different show than the previous Disney Plus release. There\u2019s no darkness whatsoever, and we haven\u2019t even met the show\u2019s villain in earnest. If we did meet the antagonist, it only happened right at the end of episode 2. And they haven\u2019t even shown us why they\u2019re evil.<\/p>\n

If anything, Ms. Marvel<\/em> feels like an early Spider-Man story so far. We have a teen who is discovering they have a superpower. Both Kamala Khan and Peter Parker then start training to learn how to control their abilities. And both of them start doing good deeds in the neighborhood, unbeknown to most people close to them.<\/p>\n

This brings us another mind-blowing event that ties Ms. Marvel<\/em> to Spider-Man.<\/p>\n

The big MCU Phase 4 plot holes<\/h2>\n

The first one happened last week, in the form of the show\u2019s first post-credits scene. We get to meet Agent Cleary (Arian Moayed), the Department of Damage Control (DODC) agent we saw in No Way Home<\/em>. We already explained that the post-credits scene shows us how the world\u2019s secret agencies react to new superheroes manifesting their powers. They want to know more, and they take action immediately.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s actually a big MCU Phase 4 plot hole so far. We hardly see these agencies elsewhere, which should involve working with the Avengers against new threats.<\/p>\n

Ms. Marvel<\/em> episode 2 doesn\u2019t explore any of that, but we see Damage Control locating Kamala Khan and coming in full force after her. That\u2019s certainly an unusual approach and something that only hurts the overall storyline. That\u2019s because these agencies did not intervene as fast during other threats. The events in Far From Home<\/em>, Eternals<\/em>, Hawkeye<\/em>, and Moon Knight<\/em> would have certainly benefited from similar scrutiny.<\/p>\n

That showing of unnecessary force brings us to the Spider-Man connection. The DODC team that comes to apprehend Ms. Marvel comes with drones. Stark drones like the ones we saw below a long time ago.<\/p>\n

The Ms. Marvel<\/em> Spider-Man Easter egg in episode 2<\/h2>\n

Ms. Marvel<\/em> rumors said that the drones from Far From Home<\/em> will appear in the TV series. We know from the timeline that the show happens sometime in fall 2025. That\u2019s almost a year after No Way Home<\/em>. And the last Spider-Man<\/em> movie picks up right after the events in Far From Home<\/em>, which take place in summer 2024.<\/p>\n

The point is that Agent Cleary & Co. have now control and\/or access over the Stark drones that were first handed to Peter Parker (Tom Holland).<\/p>\n

Back in 2019, we explained that the existence of those drones is a big MCU plot hole. That\u2019s because Marvel has to explain why those drones were never part of the Endgame<\/em> action. As you can see in the Far From Home<\/em> clip above, the drones can reach any place on Earth with impressive speed. That\u2019s why Stark must have built them.<\/p>\n

Fast-forward to Ms. Marvel<\/em>, it\u2019s unclear who is in charge of the Stark Tech orbiting the planet. Hopefully, one of the future episodes will somehow explain the story of those drones and fix the plot hole.<\/p>\n

Whatever the case, like Spider-Man, Ms. Marvel has no problem destroying those drones with ease. So maybe they would have been useless against Thanos and his goons.<\/p>\n

Ms. Marvel<\/em> episode 3 will be available on Disney Plus<\/a> next Wednesday, at which point we\u2019ll probably meet the show\u2019s villain.<\/p>\n
